I've done stranger things.

I have a quad 486/33 (I think) on the porch. AcerFrame 1000 if memory
serves me. Power supply is shot and the one company that sells the
replacement didn't get back to me so far (been "waiting" 3 years).

I think it has 128MB of RAM. And I have the German version of 2KAS. 

If someone wants to build a replacement power supply for it, I'll set it
up.
